You can't assume that our past is also the Traveller RPG setting's past. Both TL timelines will have differences.

Well, I agree that this was a pointless exercise. Basically anything that could be done with basic guns was done at TL4 or perhaps TL5.

Perhaps we could assume all chemically propelled guns are available at TL4, auto loaders and really high velocity guns at TL5, and then give them a modest size/cost bonus every 2 TLs?
